Ok, then my program will offer drag&drop only as an option for ASCII filenames and the default file selection will be Tk askopenfilename() and askdirectory().

There seems to be no Tk widget for selecting files AND directories. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum IZUS/TIK E-Mail: horlac...@tik.uni-stuttgart.de Universitaet Stuttgart Tel: ++49-711-68565868 Allmandring 30a Fax: ++49-711-682357 70550 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF:<87lh8v4cjf....@fastmail.com> _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
